Question

Talia is packing a moving box. She has a​ square-framed poster with an area of 4 square feet. The​ cube-shaped box has a volume of 13 cubic feet. Will the poster lie flat in the​ box? Explain?

Answer 1

The volume of a cube = e^3

e = a single edge of the cube.

Area of a square = a^2

a = a single side of the square.

The volume of our cube = 13 ft^3

e = $\sqrt[3]{13}$ = 2.35 ft

The area of our square =  4 ft^2

a = $\sqrt{4}$ = 2 ft

The edge of our cube is greater than the length of our square's side.

The poster will lie flat in the box.
